Pretty similar to the other small churches spread around the country, but this one has a great looking small canyon behind the building. This is definitely the highlight.

The building itself is amazing, and given that it isn't very far from Yerevan, it is pretty great.

Downside is that there's no toilet there. If you need a toilet, you have to call the people in the house right next to the church and pay 200 dram. Then, they will open the gate between the house and the church and let you use their toilet.

A rather nice looking monastery, but the highlight is that you can see Mount Ararat from it. Also, the monastery is rather crowded compared to some others in Armenia.

There's the main building and a few other smaller rooms around. You can exit through the back wall and climb up in order to see it from above.

On the way from the parking lot to the monastery, you will see several snacks and souvenirs sellers.

One of the more different looking monasteries, because it seems to have been carved directly on the mountainside.

It is pretty big and looks pretty nice, which several rooms spread among several levels. If you go through the small door on the wall behind the main building, you will find the toilet, which costs 100 drams and is that weird hole in the ground, not very usual in Europe or America. You will also find a nice small bridge going over a small river.

When coming from the parking lot and into the temple, you will find a small trail going up, into an opening on the mountain side. It's just a very small cave with lots of small rocks on its floor. Beware that there might be snakes there.

You can buy souvenirs and snacks in the parking lot.
